MicroResector

Improving MicroDiscectomy Outcomes

The SpineJet MicroResector provides physicians with a minimally invasive, predictable and efficient technique for performing a microdiscectomy.

The MicroResector comes with a 4.0 mm cannulated access set to create a minimally invasive pathway to the disc space, thus reducing the risk of reherniations. In addition, the access set minimizes or eliminates the need for nerve root manipulation, thereby reducing the likelihood of epidural fibrosis and recurrent radicular pain.

Once inside the disc space, the MicroResector device utilizes HydroCision’s fluidjet technology to predictably remove the desired amount of disc material in two to four minutes, reducing procedure time and instrument passes associated with conventional techniques.

A more precise, less invasive microdiscectomy procedure

HydroDiscectomy allows me to perform a more precise and less invasive microdiscectomy procedure with minimal nerve root retraction. I believe the small size of the annulotomy will lead to quicker patient recovery and better outcomes with minimal chance of reherniation.

No muscle damage, no bone removal, no nerve root manipulation

There is no muscle damage, no bone removal, no nerve root manipulation and the size of the wound is approximately 4 mm.

It’s a very safe procedure with anecdotally great outcomes

It’s a very easy procedure. It’s a very safe procedure with anecdotally great outcomes. Some outcomes I’ve followed up to 3 years, and the patients are doing wonderfully!
